Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of board subtract the piece cut from the length of board

\frac{7}{x-2} - \frac{3}{x+2}

Before subtracting the fractions we require them to have a common denominator.

Multiply the numerator/denominator of the first fraction by (x + 2)

Multiply the numerator/denominator of the second fraction by (x - 2)

= \frac{7(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)} - \frac{3(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}

Distribute the numerators leaving the denominator

= \frac{7x+14-3x+6}{(x-2)(x+2)}

= \frac{4x+20}{(x-2)(x+2)}

Answer:

[f(x)]^2-g(x) = 5x^2-13x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x-2\\g(x) = -x^2+5x+12

To find: [f(x)]^2-g(x)

First of all the square of first function f(x) will be found and then second function g(x) will be subtracted from the square of first function

Squaring the first function

[f(x)]^2 = (2x-2)^2\\Using\ (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2\\\[f(x)]^2 = (2x)^2-2(2x)(2)+(2)^2\\= 4x^2-8x+4

Now subtracting g(x) from [f(x)]^2

[f(x)]^2-g(x) = (4x^2-8x+4)-(-x^2+5x+12)\\\[f(x)]^2-g(x) = 4x^2-8x+4+x^2-5x-12

Combining alike terms

[f(x)]^2-g(x) = 4x^2+x^2-5x-8x+4-12\\\[f(x)]^2-g(x) = 5x^2-13x-8

Hence,

Subtracting g(x) from the square of f(x) gives us:

[f(x)]^2-g(x) = 5x^2-13x-8

2. There are some benches in a classroom. If 4 students sit on each bench then 3 benches
NARA [144]

Answer: There are 48 students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students = S

Let the number of benches = B

<em>If 4 students sit on each bench, 3 benches are left vacant.</em>

S = 4(B - 3)

S = 4·B - 12 } Equation 1

<em>If 3 students sit on each bench, 3 students still standing.</em>

S = 3·B + 3 } Equation 2

We can match the two equations because they both indicate the same number of students.

4B - 12 = 3·B + 3

on solving this

4·B - 3·B = 3 + 12

B = 15 → number of benches

That is the number of benches, therefore substituting the value for B in equation 1

S = 4·B - 12 Equation 1

S = 4·15 -12

S = 60 - 12 = 48 → number of students

Answer: There are 48 students in the class.

<h3>Verification</h3>

There are 48 students and 15 benches.

<em>If 4 students sit on each bench, 3 benches are left vacant.</em>

48students ÷ 4students/bench = 12 benches are occupied and left 3 vacant benches.

<em>If 3 students sit on each bench, 3 students still standing.</em>

<h3 />

15benches * 3 students/bench = 45 students are sitting and 3 students remain standing.

Can someone help me please? Thanks!!
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Since this triangle is isosceles, we know that the base angles are both x so we can write:

x + x + 32 = 180

2x + 32 = 180

2x = 148

x = 74°

A basket contains four apples, three peaches, and four pears. You randomly select and eat three pieces of fruit. The first piece
Artist 52 [7]
We have 4 apples, 3 peaches, and  4 pears.
The sample size is 11.

1st selection: apple
The probability of selecting an apple is 4/11.

2nd selection: peach
We now have a sample size of 10, which consists of 3 apples, 3 peaches, and 4 pears.
The probability of selecting a peach is 3/10.

3rd selection: peach
We now have a sample size of 9, which consists of 3 apples, 2 peaches, and 4 pears.
The probability of selecting a peach is 2/9.

Each selection was an independent event. Therefore the overall probability is
(4/11)*(3/10)*(2/9) = 4/165

Answer:
The probability of selecting an apple followed by 2 peaches is 4/165.
 This probability is equivalent to 0.024 or 2.4%.

One hundred times the quantity seven plus two
Mandarinka [93]

"seven" means ' 7 '

"two" means ' 2 '

"the quantity seven plus two" means  ' (7 + 2) '

"one hundred times the quantity ..." means  ' <em>100 (7 + 2)</em> ' 
That's the expression.

One of the rules for handling these things is that you should always
take care of anything inside parentheses first.  So do that.

         (7 + 2)  =  9

Now you can can write the expression like this:    ' 100 (9) ' .

That's just  <em>900 .
